Global monopoly of technology

In the following days, Chad Hurley’s operation team witnessed BOSS’s prediction, because the unexpected popularity of "Lazy Sunday" can be considered a big event for the BV video business. The team saw and realized the video being made. The potential of the business in terms of entertainment.

In addition, "Lonelygierl5" continues to publish online video diaries through video podcasts to tell their own magical stories. So far, this carefully planned marketing has not been seen by the outside world.

Of course it continues, until it is exposed, of course Chad Hurley hopes that it will never be exposed.

Even if it is exposed, it will continue to be popular for a while. After all, being exposed is also a kind of explosion.

The operation team continued to work hard on "Lazy Sunday", and the behind-the-scenes team took the initiative to produce a large number of edited videos and upload them to the BV website.

As time passed day by day, traffic continued to accumulate. By the day of October 21, BV video received 4 million views per day this month, which is the daily number of views, and the traffic continues to accumulate.

In the first month of the site’s launch, there were not many original videos on the site, but this situation changed in the second month.

Users upload original videos more frequently.

A series of videos about the take-off and landing of the Boeing 747 taken by some users or "photographers" are very popular on the website, and the attention has been steadily rising. In addition to capturing users on the website, the BV team has been there in the past month. Advertise on Craigslist in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

If you upload videos, you can get $20 per video.

But no woman responded.

But it doesn't matter, because the team is surprised by the user's enthusiasm for uploading original videos.

In fact, this is the same as the core of BlueSpace's social networking site BlueSpace, which is the photo sharing function, but BV is video sharing.

In the eyes of other video sites, the videos on the BV site make many professionals dismissive.

Because the quality is too bad.

This is pure nonsense, because the videos on the BV website are basically original videos uploaded by the general public, which is naturally different from some professional shooting, but it is precisely different from other video websites.

In theory, anyone can publish content on a BV video website. As long as it passes the review, the video uploaded by the user will be stored in the library, allowing users across the network to watch it online.

The Operations Department also spent a lot of money. In order to enrich the content of the website, Chad Hurley came up with a crazier idea.

Mainly, this idea is too expensive.

...

October 26, North American Eastern Time, afternoon.

"I buy Karma!!!"

"BOSS agreed?"

"This is crazy. Will investors get mad if they see it?"

"Bandwidth expenditures have continued to soar, and operating costs are rising wildly. Can you still agree to such a crazy proposal?"

At this moment, Menlo Park distributes the BV video project department, and Chen Shijun and Judd's core operation team are all confused.

They never expected that even Chad Hurley himself did not expect Luo Sheng to agree to his crazy idea.

Just one late night last weekend, Helett stayed up until midnight, waiting for the Eastern Hemisphere to make an emergency call to the company's ultimate boss Luo Sheng.

He asked Luo Sheng and proposed that he hoped to get a budget of US$150 million for the release of rewards, with the purpose of expanding the content of the video website.

Luo Sheng pondered for a few seconds, it was only a few seconds.

Then agreed!

"Guys, 150 million U.S. dollars, 150 million U.S. dollars, BOSS hopes that we can spend all this money reasonably within a month at most three months." Chad Hurley said excitedly.

This number is enough to drive all members of the project team crazy.

Chad Hurley added: "BOSS told me a word, which is also the biggest expectation of the BV project: If you are looking for a video, please go to BluestarVideo to find it. If there is not here, then it does not exist.

"What are you waiting for?"

Next, all 49 team engineer members of the BV project began to brainstorm and enter the development of explosive liver.

...

Meng De is a pet lover and loves dogs the most, but he does not like parrots.

He took in many stray dogs, but as more and more dogs were taken in, the financial burden became heavier.

Mengde is also an Internet senior user and also has a BS social account. Now in North America, without a BlueSpace account, I am embarrassed to say that he is an old networm.

And at the beginning of this year, Meng De began to share a large number of pictures on his personal social networking site, all of which were photos of dogs.

Every like makes him very happy and is also one of the motivations to encourage him to keep sharing new photos.

And just one day last month, he accidentally learned about Bluestar Technology’s new product, which is the online video BluestarVideo, from the message of sharing pictures on his page. Some fans who knew this video site before him suggested him Take some videos and upload them on the website.

Meng De was still dubious at first, because he didn't think he had the professional ability to shoot videos. Driven by his curiosity, he opened BluestarVideo.com and unexpectedly discovered that this video site was very different from the video sharing site he imagined.

The above video shooting is quite unprofessional. Some videos are still full of noise and the camera shakes a lot.

But soon, as if he had found the door to a new world, he found that he could upload videos at will, and it was very simple. Of course, he had to wait for review.

So Meng De tried it once, took a video of about two minutes, and uploaded it.

When a user is in a BV video, the video is all in Flash. To upload a video to the BV website, the only thing that needs to be done is to click the "upload" button with one click.

It's too simple, and the "dumb" operation is the basic condition for becoming a hit.

Since uploading the first video, Mengde couldn't stop.

Now, in addition to sharing new photos on his BS account every day, he also shoots a small video and uploads it to BV. The review speed is very fast, and he can usually see it on the website in three hours.

Today, Mengde turned on the computer and prepared to upload a video routinely to share on BV.

When he opened the webpage, an oversized pop-up advertisement popped up immediately, almost occupying the screen.

This makes Meng De feel very unhappy with this video site for the first time, because before there was no small advertisement pop-up window, such a large advertisement window popped up suddenly, and the user experience was extremely bad in an instant.

However, I was quickly attracted by the number [$150,000,000] and was stunned on the spot.

The string of numbers dazzled him.

The content on the page made him feel incredible.

"WTF?? A $150 million video reward program? Looking for the coolest and most popular videos? From now on, users only need to join the program and receive a reward of $2.33 for every original video posted on the BluestarVideo website for more than 45 seconds. , And the ownership of the video still belongs to the owner of the video UP... Oumaika!!!"

Meng De couldn't help holding his head with both hands, his eyes rounded.

Is there such a good thing?

Can you get $2.33 for uploading a video?

Meng De clicked on this pop-up page and quickly jumped to the next page for further details and found more information.

The video reward program published on the website not only allows you to get money when you publish the video, but also has a top 200 weekly list of new videos. Mengde couldn't help but refresh the interface.

Sure enough, BluestarVideo quietly updated the new version, and the website under the new version appeared on the top 200 list with a weekly rotation system.

Meng De cut the page back and continued browsing.

According to the summary of the "Video Reward" program, as long as the new video enters this list, you can get an additional bonus income. The last one on the list, the top200 video, can get $145, and the top1 can get $30. 000 US dollars.

The ranking rules of the list are implemented in accordance with the standards of video clicks and views. At the same time, only newly uploaded videos will enter this list for PK. It is rotated once a week. It is a bit like the billboard billboard of the song list, but there are differences. This list can only be posted once per video, and the bulletin board list can dominate the list for a long time.

Because the algorithms and rules of the two lists are still quite different.

The new version of the updated BV website also has an advertising alliance. The original videos uploaded to the website will receive a certain amount of income based on the comprehensive evaluation of the like index, the click-view index, and the popularity of the comment area.

In theory, the more popular a video, the wider its spread, and the greater its impact, the more advertising revenue it can create.

Meng De carefully read all the content, and the last item is the "video reward" program until the reward of 150 million US dollars is completed.

This is very important. Videos that are not renewed will not give you money and will be prosecuted for fraud. This will cause a lot of litigation troubles in Europe and America.

Meng De joined the plan decisively, but he was actually a little skeptical.

If you do this, isn't the website going to lose its rhythm?

After closing the page, he clicked into the personal center, and then uploaded a video as usual.

In the evening, he turned on the computer to watch the video on the BV website. He didn't know that the number of times he opened BV and the length of stay had quietly become more frequent.

Because I saw a lot of interesting videos on the website, such as some editing videos, etc., which I have never seen on other websites. You can even watch boring news videos on the BV website. You can even watch Mexico on it. The weather forecast of a certain TV station has a super high click-through rate, because the female anchor of the weather forecast is too "biu deau" regardless of her appearance or body.

After watching millions of clicks, do you think everyone is concerned about the weather in Mexico?Everyone is concerned about the female anchor of the weather forecast.

At this moment, Meng De is watching a war video from the Middle East. A 30-second or so video of a firefight shows that the number of clicks and views has reached 800,000, and it is still rising.

After watching, he looked for other videos he was interested in, but soon noticed a message reminder on the page.

Meng De knows that most of the videos uploaded in the afternoon have been approved, so he clicked into the personal center.

But when he saw that the wallet on his personal page showed that he had successfully earned an income of $2.33, Meng De was stunned.

After a long time, finally came back to his senses. Brother Meng was all excitedly dancing and dancing.

Take a video, click the "upload" button with one click, and then successfully get $2.33.

What could be better than this?

In fact, Meng De is not the first person to have such a reaction.

Once the video reward program was launched, the BV website has entered a real turning point in the more than two months since its launch. From this moment on, the original videos uploaded by the website ushered in explosive growth.

Money can make ghosts grind, this sentence applies everywhere.

Sharing videos is inherently human nature, and the desire to be noticed is normal. This is originally a hobby, but if you can make a little money by the way, the power can be imagined.
